“Justin came to my rescue when I was running behind which was much appreciated. The critters were well tended and the house pristine when I returned. I can’t say enough good things about his service.”

“Theresa was amazing with our very shy dog. I’m always hesitant to leave her but she was in great hands as soon as I met Theresa. We can home to a very happy and calm dog and clean house. Looking forward to our next trip hoping Theresa will be available:)”

“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”

“This is our third time using Pablo as a sitter for our dog. Pablo is great with our nervous dog, and is extremely reliable and communicative. Pablo leaves our home better than he found it, and I always feel confident that my dog is in good hands with him. We will continue to have Pablo as a sitter.”

“Van was fantastic with our two dogs while we were on a short weekend trip. The dogs really seemed to like her. She provided ample photos of the activities while we were away. She was respectful of our home and super communicative. Definitely plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs!”

“Brian took great care of our dog! Our nervous chihuahua is scared of strangers, and Brian paid very close attention to his reactions and body language, and put a lot of effort in to help him feel comfortable. He even took the time for an extra meet and greet with us before the sit, just to give our dog some extra time to acclimate to him, which was a big help. You can tell he is a true animal lover who does his best for all the dogs under his care.”

“Bennett was wonderful! He left the house in great condition, was easy to coordinate with, and he was lovely with Darby. We look forward to using him again in the future!”

“Zach did an excellent job of looking after our house and newfoundland. The house was spotless and the dog happy. He showed up as planned and handled any unexpected problems well. We would certainly use him again.”

“Margaret was fantastic! She handled a tough assignment (puppy for a week) with apparent ease. Great communication and regular updates throughout the stay. We returned home to a very happy pup and a clean well maintained home! 10/10 for sure.”

“Michele took amazing care of Duncan for us while we traveled out of town. She kept us updated daily and shared great photos of Duncan with us :) easy to see how much she cares about dogs and how much Duncan liked her as well. Hope to book her again!”

“Dena did a great job watching our dog Annie! She asked great questions during the meet & greet, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. She gave our pup lots of love & attention while we were gone, which I really appreciate. She was also super easy to communicate with leading up to the dogsitting. I definitely recommend Dena!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all of my adult life - from nurturing my own fluff balls to taking care of my friends’, I’ve got you covered! I understand that each of them have their own personalities, preferences and quirks, and will work with you to make sure that they’re well taken care of while you’re away! I’m currently working remotely (east coast hours) in a laid back job, which gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets. I also get done at 2pm everyday, giving me a lot of time in the evenings. Not offering stays in my apartment currently (so that both my pets and yours are safe!) Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with plenty of enrichment and calm spaces for rest. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors securely closed, and double-check food, litter, and meds to avoid any mix-ups.
“Beth is the best! Our anxious pup immediately loved her and felt safe and secure. Super professional, great communication, kind, definitely recommend! Thanks so much, Beth!”

“We are so happy with the care she provided for our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, sent regular messages, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Our dogs seemed very comfortable and relaxed with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we returned home, we found them happy, calm, and well cared for. She also left our home incredibly organized, which was such a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”

“Gabrielle took great care of the pups and plants. The house was left in spotless condition. Great after a long trip away! Will definitely work together again.”

“My dogs seemed to love Paige! They were calm and happy when I returned. She communicated perfectly throughout the stay and left my home spotless. She sent pictures and even accommodated my annoying standby flight situation by staying a few extra hours to make sure the dogs got fed before I returned.”


“Emily watched our 2 large dogs while we were out of town for 8 days. I was nervous because we'd never used a sitter we didn't know before, but she checked in with us when she arrived and gave us updates throughout the week. The dogs were fine! We returned to a spotlessly clean apartment and two happy and healthy dogs. Our days of boarding are over! We hope to have Emily stay at our place for all of our future vacations.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ballard
This was my first time leaving Kepler alone overnight with a sitter from Rover and Nicole did an excellent job watching him. She responds quickly and sent lots of photos and updates of him while I was gone. She was very sweet and considerate of Kepler and took him on a lot of walks. I highly recommend Nicole for dog sitter or dog walking!!

Pablo went above and beyond! I have a nervous/shy dog and he knew exactly how to approach taking care of her while we were away. It gave me such relief to know that she, and our home, were in such caring and safe hands! We will absolutely re-book with him when needed. Everything was great: quick and efficient communication, our home was probably even better than we left it, and in general, he's such a nice person! Can't recommend enough!

Sofia was a wonderful dog sitter! She kept me regularly updated and sent along photos. My dog was clearly happier than I’ve seen with sitters in the past and it was clear Sofia got her lots of walks and attentions. She also handled a fairly new medical challenge requiring meds very well. On top of that, my house was left at least as clean as I left it - if not more. I will absolutely be asking Sofia to dog sit in the future!

Siobhan is adored by both my dog and cat. They are traitors because they both seem to like her better than us. Though not true they are very happy when she is here. Getting lots of cuddles and care. Our cat has medical issues and gets the care he needs, on time twice a day. Our dog gets lots of walks.
